Review of Teenage Zombies (1959) by Movie K — 26 Dec 2011

Really poor B-grade movie. Short duration is a relief. 4 teens (Don Sullivan, Paul Pepper, Mitzie Albertson) explore an isolated island while going water ski and saw a line of zombies walking. A lady Katherine Victor saw them and the teens run back to their boat which is gone. They search around the island but to no avail. The 2 guys explore further and Katherine greets them. She said she's the only one there and doesn't need a boat. The 2 girls are caught by a zombie and lock in cell. The 2 guys joined them. Katherine plan to use them for research without interference from outside world. 2 other friends (Jay Hawk & Nan Green) who waited for them too long decided to report to sheriff. He couldn't find the boat. The duo teen search on their own and end up at Katherine house. They left when she said she didn't saw them. Then Jay saw 2 men on boat docking. The men are rushing her to speed up the work. Her one slave zombie is healthy and obedient unlike her other test subjects. The need to rush is because a dead federal agent might have inform the government of their evil research. Don and Paul manage to break their cell lock and make a run. The girls lock is hard to break. The guys can't find their boat and build a raft, sneak back to cell. Jay went to sheriff home and tell him what he saw. They going to the island. The 2 girls are use for new test. The boys break out and waiting to strike. Turns out the sheriff works with the baddies and he is the one supplying convicts for her to do tests. He says this time round using innocent kids is too much. One men shot the sheriff dead. The boys fight back and got the guns. But the girls are already in zombie state. Katherine refuse to help and is force into the chamber to go through the same test. But she just can't be talk to. Don threaten one of the man to get antidote. She awaken and smash the antidote. The slave zombie returns and they make a run. Luckily Paul had another cup of antidote and the girls are save. Katherine and one man go for the sheriff boat. The 6 teens jump on the boat and escape. The army will reward them. Don wants his boat back and the army.

Major promise to find for him.
